Staycation

StaycationThere is something to be saidabout just staying inAbout seventy-two hours, of just us,
away from the traffic, the lights, the din
Us, together, happily losing track of time,
while everything we do is win/winSo many great choices when it’s you and me
that we seldom know exactly where to begin
And it never returns to where we didn’t go
when we realize where we’ve just beenTogether, inside of each other’s heartSharing time, within each other’s mindWhere the very best of both of usis remarkably easy to findWhere every word we consideris purposeful, caring and kindWhere our substantial substancecan relax, and breathe, and slowly unwindA safe and serene distance
from the lives we’ve left behind

Right at home with all that makes us laugh
Where nothing is too wacky, nothing too bizarre
For our own choice of music, and great conversation,
for our own ideal company, we needn’t go far
A healthy, necessary break for the walletA welcome, fuel-efficient rest for the car
Beer and wine, or whatever else we choose,
at less than a quarter the price of a bar
And when we buy it locally, ourselves,
it’s always Canadian money at par

A stay-cation, much like we wantedA stay-in solution, much like we said
Staying in, and saving for our next adventure
Staying in together, and staying out of the red
Holding hands, while sitting on the couch
Holding each other, while staying in bed
Making love, and making our own meals
With both of our appetites, extremely well fed
Instead of spending a pile of money, frivolously,we spend some quality time staying home instead

There is so much to enjoy about these weekendsIt makes little difference what we choose to do
All that matters is that it’s our time, together
And every memory matters, when it’s me with you
